Innovation Solution

A portable soccer training device featuring a detachable frame body and rebound plate, composed of sequentially arranged rebound battens with webbing slots, allowing for easy assembly, disassembly, and folding for storage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the soccer training device uses a fixed integrated structure, then the structural stability is improved, but the portability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidportability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The soccer training device is divided into multiple independent modules: frame body, rebound plate, base, and connecting components. Each module can be separately assembled and disassembled through connecting structures (screws, snap-fit mechanisms), enabling the device to be transported in parts while maintaining structural stability during use. The rebound plate itself is segmented into multiple battens that can be individually replaced or adjusted.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If the rebound plate is made as a single rigid piece, then the surface smoothness is improved, but the ease of storage deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesurface smoothnessVSAvoidstorage space
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The rebound plate is constructed from multiple sequential rebound battens (first, second, third battens) that can be independently removed and stored. When not in use, these battens can be detached from the frame body and stored separately, reducing the overall storage volume required. During use, they are reassembled to form a smooth continuous surface for ball rebound.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The rebound plate transitions from a static rigid structure to a dynamic configurable structure. The battens can be inserted or removed from the frame body depending on usage needs, allowing the device to adapt between a complete smooth surface configuration for training and a reduced configuration for storage and transport.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If the device uses permanent connections between components, then the structural reliability is improved, but the ease of assembly deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural reliabilityVSAvoidease of assembly
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting structures (screws, snap-fit mechanisms, mounting brackets) are pre-designed and pre-positioned on the frame body and rebound plate components during manufacturing. This preliminary preparation of connection interfaces allows users to quickly assemble and disassemble the device without complex alignment procedures, maintaining both structural reliability and ease of assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A soccer training device includes a frame body, a rebound plate detachably connected to a side of the frame body, the rebound plate is composed of rebound battens sequentially arranged, and each rebound batten defines at least one webbing slot penetrating through the rebound batten. A webbing passing through the webbing slots of the rebound battens to string the rebound battens together, thereby making the rebound plate to be folded and stored after disassembly. The rebound plate is composed of several rebound battens sequentially arranged to form a relatively smooth surface for soccer training, each rebound batten defines one or more webbing slots penetrating through the rebound batten, and the webbing slots of the rebound battens are used to fix the webbing, so that the webbing passes through the webbing slots of the rebound battens to string the rebound battens together.
